Hello. Im a male and I believe I have pudendal neurolgia, but haven't yet got an official diagnosis. Have chronic pain that can be anywhere from my anus all the way up into my genitals. Its been a year and a half of trying different things. I've had 2 nerve blocks that did not work. I am on 150mg of lyrica, 3 times a day. Total of 450mg, the most i am allowed. I am also on 60mg of cymbalta. I dont think the cymbata is helping for pain but still going to take it for other reasons. Im not sure if the lyrica is doing anything but I did try to stop it for a couple of days and my pain seemed to worsen so I went back on it. If the lyrica is working it took a while to help. But I'm still in enough pain and discomfort that it is life altering. Lyrica does help me sleep but it increases my appetite so I am gaining weight now. I dont want to exercise because I dont want to aggravate it.
